Zack Snyder talks Man of Steel

The latest Superman movie, Man of Steel, is set to hit the big screen next year and the director of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder has been talking a little about the movie. Zack claims that, because of the movie Watchmen, he has been able to make a Superman movie that he really wants.

Snyder explained, “I love making genre movies because genre movies have the potential to be the biggest movie. Watchmen is a crash course on the rules of the why of superheroes, so for me now, to go and do Superman it’s like ‘Ok, I got that, I know why.’”

He added, “Now I can make, I think, a Superman movie that gets at him and makes him relevant and you can care about him and be something that you wanna see and not go ‘That’s a joke, he’s got his glasses on so you can’t recognise him.’”

With that said, it appears that Zack Snyder may be looking for a different way for Clark Kent to hide his Superman secret, rather than just a pair of glasses. Man of Steel will see Henry Cavill in the lead role, with Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Russell Crowe as Jor-El.
